From DaveD: East Germans & French - Cold War Gone Hot - 7DTTR (293 Points)

 Right back to normality from doing silly butterfly things. Having completed the French armoured force its time for some WARPAC opposition. So sticking with our smaller nations theme here is the East German Force -a classic motor rifle company and a T55 unit (no points for the T55 though as they were already painted - just needed basing)

All 15mm

BTR60s
 
5 vehicles , 1 command 

A mix of infantry , LMG and RPG stands 

77 infantry .

For force completeness here is  the armoured element of  the force 12 x T55’s - non point scoring as I have only got around to the basing while I was doing the other stuff. I pick these up ready painted from a guy in Poland last year and they are very nice.



To round out the previous completed French armoured group I have now finished a French infantry platoon and extra  Milan teams . There is another to complete at some point .

 


49 infantry.

So grand total:-
5 vehicles = 40 points 
Vehicle crew 1 = 1pt 
Infantry 126 = 252
Total = 293


So the  points take me over target with just over a month to go  Huzzah! .
 And 293 to the Never Ending Cold War side dual  - feel my fire! 

That’s it for this project for now until we get a game in to work out what we need next I think .Well they may be a few tanks in the production line - we will see . 

Now it’s time to return to Nam!  There is some good stuff in the wings and I want to break the back of this project by the end of challenge .




Excellent work, Dave! Good to see the French and DDR get some attention!

  1. Great submission Dave, love those East German infantry in the bushes and the T55s are great, will be mashed up by those French ATGMs methinks 🤪

    1. Felt need for lots of clump - pretty sure it’s unhealthy in the open!

  3. Nice DDR formation. Probably ity is because the Ukraine conflict, but I've seen a spike of interest in social media about the 80s

  4. You are good painting green, Dave! Now just adjust your point target to so that the total will be 91 000. :)
